  <div>
   <p>The <span>product</span> supports live mount, in which a backup copy is mounted to the host that uses data so that users can immediately access the backup copy data.</p>
   <div class="section">
    <h4 class="sectiontitle">Application Scenarios</h4>
    <ul>
     <li>Development and test data verification<p>Quickly access file system data through backup copies, run test scripts, and verify applications in the environment.</p></li>
     <li>Minute-level data restoration<p>If the production volume is abnormal, you can mount the backup copy to the production host to reduce the service interruption time.</p></li>
    </ul>

    <p><a href="#EN-US_TOPIC_0000002164804980__fig813012537366">Figure 1</a> shows the live mount service process. The following part assumes that the client is deployed on the <span>product</span>.</p>

    </div>
    <ol>
     <li>A live mount job is automatically scheduled or manually triggered on the <span>product</span> WebUI, and then sent to the data protection engine.</li>
     <li>The data protection engine creates a clone file system based on the restoration target copy.</li>
     <li>The client creates a share for the production host and grants access control permissions so that the clone file system can be mounted.</li>
     <li>Users manually mount the clone file system to the production host OS and access files in real time using the NFS or CIFS protocol.</li>
